Companies will have to disclose the number of women they have in senior
positions under rules proposed by the Government yesterday.

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills said that it was adopting a
proposal by Lord Davies of Abersoch in his landmark report on women on
boards to make listed businesses disclose the gender balance of their
workforces and their management ranks.

The Government believes that forcing the disclosure of gender statistics will
keep up the pressure on Britain’s leading companies to shatter the glass
ceiling that has kept women out of top positions.
